A sacred cultivation ground for the Void Heaven Realm
"Uncle-Master, what brings you here?" Yi Yunbo bowed respectfully.
Gu Yuanqing cupped his hands in greeting. "Daoist Friend."
Shang Ziyin turned around and glanced at the scene, then said, "It's nothing. I just happened to be here to take a look. You guys go ahead with your work; I should be going now."
After saying that, she leaped up, and Immortal Crane flying in the air swooped down to catch her.
Shang Ziyin looked down at Gu Yuanqing and said calmly, "Let's do what we can."
Then the Immortal Crane let out a clear cry, flapped its wings, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise, "Why does your martial uncle seem a bit strange?"
Yi Yunbo glanced at Gu Yuanqing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Perhaps you resemble one of her old acquaintances?"
"Old friend?"
"It is said that seven hundred years ago, when Uncle Shang was still True Disciple, he invited someone to be Guest Elder of my Illusionary Spirit Sect. That person also Primordial Fishing Platform with the cultivation of Void Heaven, but encountered Earth Tier Mid-Grade Dao Soul and died on it."
"I see!" Gu Yuanqing glanced in the direction where Shang Ziyin had disappeared, then looked away.
Yi Yunbo solemnly said, "Therefore, Daoist Friend Gu, Uncle Shang is right. Everything should be done within your capabilities. Although your strength is strong, you are still only at the Void Heaven realm. You can still try your luck with a low- Lower Earth Tier Dao Soul, but if you encounter a Dao Soul of Earth Tier Mid-Grade or higher, I suggest you prioritize your own safety. A Earth Tier Mid-Grade is comparable to Celestial Person Being in strength, and standing on the Boundless River, even Celestial Person would be in danger of perishing if they encountered one!"
Gu Yuanqing also became serious and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the reminder."
Yi Yunbo chuckled again, "Of course, even on the Ancient Fishing Platform, Earth Tier Dao Soul are extremely rare, and those of mid-rank or higher are even rarer. Otherwise, this Primordial Fishing Platform wouldn't be so often empty. Without further ado, I'll activate the Array Formation and send you into the Fishing Platform."
Thank you for your help!
Yi Yunbo took out the ancient token, made a hand Hand Seal, and drew a few lines in the Void. The Token in his hand shone brightly, activating the Array Formation on the High Platform.
He then turned towards the direction of the Illusionary Spirit Sect Mountain Gate, bowed, and said, "Please grant the Sect Leader's decree!"
"Yes!" A voice came from afar, seemingly imbued with Dao Resonance.
As the words fell, Formation Method Talismanic Script danced on the High Platform.
On the Boundless River, some people noticed the Motion and Stillness on the High Platform and looked over.
"Which Celestial Person has rented this Primordial Fishing Platform?"
"I don't know, they must be really rich. Opening the Ancient Fishing Platform would cost at least 100,000 Ancient Coin. If it were me, it would take me a hundred years to refine it every day," a Void Heaven Cultivator said enviously.
"How can Celestial Person Great Cultivator be compared to us? If even one or two Earth Tier Dao Soul fall here, we've already gained something."
"One hundred thousand Ancient Coin is no small sum. Even Celestial Person wouldn't dare to Primordial Fishing Platform unless they were confident in their fishing skills!"
A young man with an effeminate demeanor scoffed, "Ignorance breeds fearlessness. Does Void Heaven Cultivator dare to set foot on the Primordial Fishing Platform?"
"What do you mean by that, Brother Gongsun?" a burly man carrying a long sword asked in surprise.
Gongsun Miao shook his head and said, "I just lament the waste of the Sect resources! I don't know what Uncle Qiu was thinking, allowing him to act so recklessly."
"Brother Gu, now you can leave your Divine Soul imprint on the Token, enter the formation, and then you can head to the Ancient Fishing Platform."
The details had already been explained to Gu Yuanqing, so Gu Yuanqing didn't hesitate. He probed the Token with his Divine Soul and established a connection with it before stepping into the Formation.
"The Ancient Fishing Platform is deep in the Boundless River. Brother Gu is not Celestial Person and cannot fly in the Ancient Realm. If you need to come out, you can contact my Sect with your Token. Brother Gu, I wish you good luck!" Yi Yunbo cupped his hands in greeting.
Gu Yuanqing returned the greeting with a cupped hand, then activated the Token.
The next moment, the scenery changed, and they found themselves on a floating island surrounded by the Boundless River.
Looking around, the distance to the shore is more than three hundred li.
The island, spanning about a Formation, and the ground was paved with spotless Green Stone.
There is another house in the center, all of which are Restrictive Seal by Runes, but these Restrictive Seal also require Ancient Coin to activate.
There was nothing else besides that.
Gu Yuanqing scanned the Island with his Divine Sense and chuckled, "Finally, I can fish and cultivate in peace. If a year isn't enough, then add another year."
Gu Yuanqing was quite confident in his fishing skills. It was only a matter of 100,000 Ancient Coin, and a single Earth Tier Dao Soul or Top-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul would be worth that price.
This might be expensive to others, but it's nothing to Gu Yuanqing.
He then went to the Fishing Platform at the edge of the floating island and took out the prop that Yi Yunbo had lent him.
"Even if this Fishing Gear isn't Earth Tier, it's still Top-Grade Profound Tier, quite valuable! In any case, we should give this Brother Yi some fortuitous opportunity in the future."
Gu Yuanqing sat on the Green Stone and used his True Essence to activate his Fishing Gear. In an instant, the Fishing Rod transformed into a length of thirty feet.
The Fishing Line is lowered, the Dao Bait gathers, and then we wait for the Dao Soul to take the bait.
The water here is turbulent and powerful; as the Fishing Line dips, you feel your Vital Energy and Divine Soul being worn away.
"No wonder only Celestial Person Cultivator come to this Ancient Fishing Platform to fish. These Void Heaven Cultivator from the Exquisite World are in a state of flux, and under such a torrent of Vital Energy, they probably wouldn't last long before they'd be exhausted, let alone fish. Even I, who has just entered the Ancient Realm, would find fishing here quite strenuous!"
Gu Yuanqing is very different now than he was two years ago. His growth in the Void Heaven World has greatly increased his true essence and Primordial Spirit. With the tempering of the Heavenly Fishing and the exploration of the past two years, he can now easily withstand such consumption.
Before half an hour had passed, Gu Yuanqing sensed an unusual movement in the Boundless River. His Fishing Line sank, and Dao Resonance took the bait.
Feeling the power coming from underwater, Gu Yuanqing's eyes lit up. Empowerment his true Primordial Spirit, and lifted the Fishing Rod.
A moment later, a water monster five zhang long surfaced, struggling in agony.
"Mid-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul!"
Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly, his domain enveloped the creature, and in a moment he subdued it and lifted it up.
"Indeed, this is the Ancient Fishing Platform. In the past, it would take several days, or even more than ten days, to catch a Profound Tier Dao Soul, but here it only takes a moment!"
On the High Platform by the shore, Yi Yunbo had not yet left, his gaze fixed on the location of the Ancient Fishing Platform.
This time, his recommendation of Gu Yuanqing could be considered a gamble, and he didn't know if it was the right or wrong decision.
Of course, if he hadn't heard that Gu Yuanqing had a precedent of catching Top-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul and had repeatedly dealt with Void Heaven Peak with ease, he wouldn't have dared to gamble.
However, no matter how strong Void Heaven was, he was still Void Heaven, not Celestial Person, so he was actually extremely uneasy.
After watching for a while, he was about to leave when he suddenly froze.
He couldn't see clearly because of the mist formed from various Vital Energy on the Boundless River, but he could still sense the aura emanating from the Boundless River stirred by his Profound Tier Dao Soul.
"The speed at which this Dao Soul was caught... is just too fast! This is Profound Tier, if it's just luck, then it's incredibly lucky!" He was quite astonished.
Along this stretch of the Boundless River, many experts have gathered, and even Celestial Person are fishing on the bank. Upon seeing the Motion and Stillness, they all turned to look.
His eyes held no shortage of envy. Even the worst Profound Tier Dao Soul was worth several thousand Ancient Coin. If one could Refinement, it would be worth at least several years' worth of enlightenment.
If it were on the shore, people would surely gather around to see if it suited their needs, but unfortunately, from the Ancient Fishing Platform, one can only look on.
Gu Yuanqing looked around and was very satisfied.
In the past, I probably would have had to change seats, but here, there's no need to worry about that.
This is also the reason why he sought the position of Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect. For him at this time, this place can be described as a sacred place for cultivation.
He was prepared to stay on this Ancient Fishing Platform for as long as possible, regardless of whether he caught Earth Tier Dao Soul or not, so as to refine all the Dao Resonance needed by the Void Heaven World to Perfection.
They're just Ancient Coin; compared to one's own cultivation and spiritual attainment, what do they amount to!
Well, many Daoist Friend feel that the plot is not interesting at this stage. I will speed up the pace and try to increase the update frequency later on.
